Hello everyone! This is a different post from myself as opposed to my usual essays of sorts. Very recently I’ve just now crossed over 3000 games as Japan, additionally I’m coming close to my third year login anniversary too.
I just want to take this moment to give a thank you towards you all and the community at large, to the forum users and my friends here and on the RU forum. Thank you to all of you who’ve sparked my curiosity into researching lesser known parts of war, firearm and vehicle history.
To the avid researchers who’ve in particular led me down what’s become a rabbit hole of researching Japanese weaponry and equipment, to point where I’ve been amassing a personal collection of secondary and soon to be, physical primary sources.
Thank you to those that have supported my suggestions and research pieces and have given valuable feedback. I’m always trying my absolute hardest and my best to ensure that what I bring forward is of high quality, and of a robust standard.
Thank you to the developers, the helpers, the QA testers, the Game masters, the moderators, everyone here and everyone who plays and brings value and heart to the game.
I sincerely wish nothing but the best for Enlisted and it’s community.
For those of you who might be curious as to my current physical collection that I use to assist my research along with others here who’ve delved deep for information, here’s a look at everything named from top to bottom, right to left.

Now I’m sure there’s probably the question of how I’ve entertained myself playing so much of Japan, and to be honest it’s really just been playing around with some variety and building loadouts for every battle rating. Playing around the meta has never been a focus or a concern of me, I just enjoy using all the tools at my disposal good or bad.
Here’s a snapshot of my play style courtesy of Enlisted Roll Call
And here’s some collages of my BR line-ups 1 down to 5
So in closing thank you to Enlisted in all the sum and it’s parts for my new found hobby and hyperfixation and thank you all so much for having me. Here’s to the many years to come !
See you in game and on the Forum! 
Also on a final note, after now crossing over 3k games as Japan if I was to max out another faction which one?
- European Axis
- Allied&Commonwealth
- USSR
- Nonsense, remain loyal to the Emperor
One last and incredibly important thank you to my most loyal assistant through all my games and research. My sweet little kitty Nebula.
